My New 22' Majek Illusion

I run a 22 Majek Illusion with a Yamaha 150 T R P.  My boat is fully equipped with a Bob's jack plate, Motor Guide trolling motor, poling platform, Lowrance 25-C GPS and a Performance Shade top for the hot summer months.  The Majek Illusion is very stable and offers a smooth and dry ride.  The boat floats in 8 to 10 inches of water and will get up in 10 to12 inches. This means we can go just about anywhere we want to find fish.  This boat has plenty of dry storage for tackle and offers a great deal of fishing room for clients.                      

 

Fly Fishing Tackle

 

Fly fishing the flats for redfish and big trout is very challenging.  Good tackle is essential, and if needed I can provide you with the best.  Thomas & Thomas Horizon Saltwater Series Rods, including the new Paradigm, Abel Reels No.1 and Able 3N.  I am very fortunate to have Thomas & Thomas, Abel, AIR-FLOW and Pacific Fly as my sponsors.

This is the tackle we use WF-8-F, WF-9-F saltwater and bone fish taper fly lines.  Nine and ten foot leaders with 8 to 12 pound test fluorocarbon tippets.  Sandy Point offers premium knotted saltwater fly leaders with 100% fluorocarbon tippets. Sandy Point caters to fly fishermen who demand the finest materials without the high cost.  Flies include the Clouser Minnow (chartreuse and white), Sliders, Bent-backs, Shrimp and Crab patterns.  Hook sizes 2-4-6.  In the winter months December through March you will need to bring a good pair of Hodgman neoprene or breathable waders and flats boot.  The rest of the year flats boots are all you will need to wade the flats.
